azzaro Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 That landing was surprisingly smooth! :) I fully expected more of a 'Chalks on a blackboard' moment. :p Still, it's typical that you make a runway landing with the one plane designed for your usual water ones! :rolleyes: All kidding aside, an excellent job with the whole thing. :cool: — Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfwright Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Loved the flight and scenery Jan. The Mallard is terrific and the color of the water is amazing. Your pictures beg me to be there for a little R&R. Jim I am a King Air fan. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks very much for the kind comments Jim, Larry, Bernardo, Adam and JanKees, much appreciated! :):) Adam, thanks for inviting me to Sloppy Joe's. Can you please also pay my bill from yesterday? I was kicked out because I forgot my money. Yes? Thanks my friend! It's a huge bill btw. Had an important business lunch. See you!

KCD Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Jan, very nice scenery! I must get it as KMTH is a favorite (I soloed there in 1961). I have a couple of hundred landings there; when I flew in and out of Marathon, there were no airport services of any consequence, just an FBO at the east end, no lights, no landing aids, just a 5000' macadam strip. Flying in there at night with no lights on the field and no landing light was a trick, but if you knew the trick it was very doable... did it many times with nary an issue.

peer01 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 I heard this scenery is not so close to reality, but I like it very much :cool:. Thanks very much Klee. :) Good to know you were a regular pilot there. Btw: do you have an account at Sloppy Joe's? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviator66 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Two thumbs up on this one Jan. I to love to fly the keys. It looks like they got some rain and wind from the Hurricane Matthew. As of 12:45pm I am getting wind and some rain not too bad, BUT at 5:00pm Look out it will be very bad.

KCD Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 No I do not have an account at Sloppy Joe's, was only there once... Adam took me, he paid. I lived in Marathon and rarely ever went to Key West, although we used to fly down there occasionally for dinner close to the airport. Marathon in the early 60's was a whole lot different than it was the last time I was there (about 20 years ago). It had grown up, come of age and real airplanes fly in there then' pt was not the wild and woolly place that I lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks very much James :) Klee: I know what you mean, some beautiful places I know from my youth became suburbs or golf courses......:( Adam: I knew you would cover me again, you're a real friend :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCD Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I had such a great time last time, Adam, that you can count me in along with the Zipster. Free beer? I'll be there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy208 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Great post Jan! Beautiful bird she is .... my Uncle flew the military variant, the HU-16 for many years doing Air Sea Rescue. A much more glamorous aircraft than the Cessna 172 I flew in real life in the Keys many moons ago. Greets ! Mike [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks Mike :), and I think a Cessna 172 over the keys is glamorous enough! :cool: I'm a big HU-16 fan: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
